This is the definition of the UFS_BIT() macro I found in
drivers/scsi/ufs/ufshci.h:

#define UFS_BIT(x)	(1L << (x))

Using this macro makes code longer instead of shorter and does not improve
code readability. Is this macro really useful? Wouldn't it be better to
remove the UFS_BIT() macro instead of introducing more uses of it?

Thanks,

Bart.
